#Redirect[[Release cards]]
 
Starting with ''[[Eighth Edition]] these cards were known as '''Launch Party promo cards'''. From ''[[Avacyn Restored]]'' onwards the name of "Launch Party" was phased out and the cards were they are given away at the first [[Friday Night Magic]] after release day. Release cards are stamped or otherwise marked to identify them as the release card, are [[foil]], and bear the card's [[expansion symbol]] or logo as a [[watermark]]. From ''[[Amonkhet]]'' onwards they were given away at the [[Draft Weekend]], the weekend following release day.<ref>[http://wpn.wizards.com/en/draft-weekend Draft Weekend]</ref>
